: -WHAT IS “IN A NUTSHELL7" 
The book has just been written in compliance with the urgent solicitations of several 
prominent educators having a large number of youths entrusted to their care. It is an 
epitome of the wisdom and the observations of a whole lifetime concerning the numerous 
topics which most interest all who would like to stand high in the sphere in which they live. 
While many of the subjects treated are commonplace, such as Climate, Ventilation, 
Sleep. Food, Mastication, Digestion, Exercise. Cold Baths, Building a Brain, Longev¬ 
ity, Quintessence of the Blood, etc., etc., there is not a paragraph in the book 
which is one bit stupid or uninteresting. Several copiously illustrated chap¬ 
ters upon “Curious Fashions ” constitute an invaluable feature of the work. Many 
of the distortions of the savage, as well as of the civilizee, are fully exposed: 
and the whole subject is treated in a new light. The hideousness of some of our 
prevailing fashions are so graphically portrayed that every sensible reader must henceforth 
look with pity, rather than pride, upon their crippled monstrosities. The book fervently 
appeals to our yo th for reform; and it is believed that parents will eagerly seize upon this 
opportunity to p their children. It contains interesting and vital facts, the knowledge 
of which is wo . M thousand times the price of the book. 
-whaJ hjr most distinguished educators sat about “in A NUTSHELL.” 
Inasmuch;* s the work had been written at the suggestion of several prominent edu¬ 
cators, the p: Jsrfishers, before issuing it in the regular bound form, mailed “Advance 
Sheets” to heads of our most prominent institutions of learning for the purpose of ascer¬ 
taining whether it could be improved by their suggestions and criticisms. Hundreds of 
college presidents, and others, have responded in long letters of their heartiest praise. 
These letters may be fairly epitomized by the following phrases:
